| embed subversion number in code as a string |

HI,
A little new to subversion and such. I'm trying to embed the subversion commit number as a string in my ccs code.
| Code: | | #define ver_str "v2.00" |
this snip is what I have been using and manually updating.
subversion recognises keywords
$Revision$ placed in a text file for example is replaced with
$Revision 17$ after a commit. 17 being the 17th commit in this eg.
so I tried
| Code: | | #define ver_str "$Revision$" |
This, as expected, gets replaced with
| Code: | | #define ver_str "$Revision: 17" |
after a commit
I would like to remove the text word Revision. Thus rendering ver_str as "17" ie only the number part.
any ideas? |

Is this statement from a CCS manual or User's Guide ? Post a link to it.
What's a commit ? Does it mean 'compiled' ? Or 'programmed' ?
I have the feeling that you're using some product other than CCS
and it has its own documentation that we haven't seen. |

| The post is expecting basic knowledge of subversion, a free/open source version control system. See http://subversion.apache.org |

Yes my mistake. I was expecting prior knowledge of subversion. I anticipated that most coders would be using something similar?
With multiple projects and release versions we are beginning to have problems with bug and issue tracking. I'm looking at automated systems.
My question was whether CCS could somehow parse or deal with such things. |

| I didn't exactly understand, where you want to use the information from the version string. Inside the application code? It should work with C string processing and thus consume resources at run-time. The CCS C preprocessor doesn't have the features to perform text processing. |

HI,
Yes, in the application code.
for eg Somewhere in the code I would have this.
| Code: | | printf("%s",ver_str); |
Your last sentence pretty much kills the idea tho:( If the pre-processor has no provision for processing such things I'll have to resort to manual labour :( |
